Tapless is a calendar you fill in by chatting with an AI. Stop typing events into forms β€” just say what you have on. β–  Create events by chatting Say "meeting tomorrow at 3pm" or "doctor next Tuesday" in the words you'd normally use. The AI works out the date, time and title and puts it in your calendar. No more wrestling with input screens. Handy for things like: β€’ "shopping this weekend" β€” the AI works out which Saturday you mean β€’ "meeting every Monday at 10" β€” sets up the repeat for you β€’ "welcome party next Friday at 7pm" β€” plain speech, straight into the calendar β–  Shift rosters and timetables, from a photo Send a photo of your work roster or class timetable and the AI reads several events out of it at once. No typing a month of shifts by hand. β–  Today's schedule with a back tap Assign the Tapless shortcut to your iPhone's Back Tap, and two taps on the back of the phone put today's schedule on your Lock Screen. No hunting for the app. β–  Share a calendar Share a calendar with family, friends or your club. Send an invite link to let them join, and manage what each member can do. β–  Weather and calendar extras See a seven-day forecast right on the month view.

Read full description

NanNanCat Notes is a handwriting notes app, made by a university student in Taiwan and named after their cat, NanNan. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no locked features, no ads β€” just a plain tool. HANDWRITING AND DRAWING Fountain pen, ballpoint, brush and highlighter with freely adjustable width and colour β€” save your favourites. Shape recognition, a ruler, sticky notes, washi tape, stickers and text boxes are included. Inserted photos can be cropped, resized and rotated. RECORDING WITH INK REPLAY Record a lecture or meeting, and optionally capture the timing of your writing β€” during playback the ink reappears stroke by stroke in time with the audio. Choose the built-in mic or a connected headset. THREE KINDS OF DOCUMENT Besides paged notebooks, there's a whiteboard for thinking out loud and a text document that exports as Markdown. All three share the same folders and search. SYNCS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Sign in to the same Apple Account and notes written on iPad appear on iPhone by themselves β€” no account to create, no sync button to press. Or keep everything local with iCloud turned off entirely. HANDWRITING SEARCH AND ON-DEVICE AI Search your own handwriting. Summarising, proofreading and translating all run on the device β€” your notes are never sent to any server. PRIVATE AND SECURE Set a passcode for the app and unlock it with Face ID or Touch ID. No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics. TAKE IT ANYWHERE Export notebooks as PDF or as a re-editable file format, and text documents as Markdown.
